Chapter 1333 Technology
Liu Gan plans to use these three to five hundred years to build the entire solar system into a war fortress.
As long as the conditions are right, all nine planets and their satellites will build orbital defense systems, install tens of thousands of turrets, and install large-scale long-range energy cannons. The effective range must at least cover the entire solar system.
When Liu Gan was fighting the Trisolaran Civilization, he accidentally discovered the power of machine gun bullets. Most of the warships of the Trisolaran Civilization were blown up by the machine guns of the Galaxy Fleet. Originally, he considered strengthening billions of them himself. Bullets make the warheads stronger and more penetrating to enhance the attack power of the Galaxy Fleet.
But under the advice of scientists, Liu Gan gave up the idea.
In the face of the five-vehicle, five-civilization space fleet with energy armor, traditional bullets have lost their meaning. Energy armor has the characteristics of non-Newtonian fluids. The greater the force of the bullet that strikes at high speed, the greater the force of the rebound. , basically causing no effective damage to them.
Only laser weapons and energy weapons can effectively break the energy armor of five vehicles and five civilizations.
Therefore, the research focus of weapons technology must shift to laser weapons and energy weapons. The Trisolaran civilization has improved earth civilization by about 10% in this regard. If it wants to continue to improve, earth civilization must rely on Only your own wisdom will do.
"I want to build a large particle collider for a base around Mars." Physicist Liu Long's project team applied to Liu Qian.
"What's the use of building this thing?" Liu Gan frowned.
"Improving our basic physics theory. Only when basic physics is improved, can other technologies have the opportunity to further develop rapidly. To put it in detail..." Liu Long faced a leader like Liu Qian who was a mess in physics. He really felt that It is difficult to explain those profound theoretical knowledge in a popular way.
"It's important for the development of science and technology, right?" Liu Qian's virtual projection waved his hand to Liu Long, stopping him from continuing to talk about theories that he didn't understand.
"Yes, this thing must be built. Decades ago, our country wanted to build a large particle collider, but it was blocked by some people with ulterior motives and it has never been built." Liu Long looked forward to it. .
"Okay, how many resources are needed? Manpower? How long will it take to set up?" Liu Qian is only concerned about this matter now.
"It requires all the resources and manpower in the Mars base. If it is short, it will take about 20 to 30 years, and if it is long, it may be 40 to 50 years." Liu Long made a preliminary estimate.
"What? You mean, in the past 20 to 30 years, the entire Mars base has done nothing but built the collider you mentioned?" Liu Gan shook his head. Time is now for him. It’s too precious. Let alone forty or fifty years, twenty or thirty years are unacceptable.
"But...without this thing, our basic physics cannot move forward. Without the advancement of basic physics, everything else is empty talk." Liu Long said in a very insistent tone.
After visiting Chen Jinghang, Chen Ce and other leading figures in various industries who Liu Qian thought were very powerful, Liu Qian confirmed that what Liu Long said was true. Now the technology of the entire earth civilization has reached a bottleneck, and planet-level particles are necessary. It is possible for the collider to achieve a breakthrough.
In the end, Liu Gan had to agree to Liu Long's request and began to build a satellite orbit-level particle collider that would orbit the entire Mars. The materials, manpower, and material resources required for this thing have almost exceeded the limit that the current earth civilization can support, so Liu Qian had to stop all other things.
Fortunately, Liu Qian himself does not have to be idle all the time. Using the decades spent building a planetary particle collider, he used his own energy and mysterious energy to strengthen more than 10 million tons of alloy materials, enough to produce two or three A Spirit-class space battleship.
One day thirty-six years later, the construction of the particle collider orbiting the Mars satellite was completed. Liu Long's project team started various experiments day and night. Three years later, they successfully advanced basic physics a big step forward. , with the improvement of basic physics, materials science, dynamics and other disciplines have developed by leaps and bounds in the following ten years, and finally promoted the entire earth's civilization from the early stage of the first stage to the first stage. mid-stage level.
Three multi-million-ton Spirit-class space battleships were produced, and the energy cannon technology obtained from the Trisolaran civilization was successfully miniaturized and installed on the three Spirit-class space battleships.
Compared with the ships of the current fleet of the Galaxy Fleet with five vehicles and five civilizations, they are still one order of magnitude behind. They are not yet able to produce King-class space battleships. Compared with the Spirit-class space battleships, they should have already produced the first World War. force.
Although the five-vehicle and five-civilization battleships have energy armor, the energy cannons fired by the Galaxy Fleet’s Spirit-class space battleships and planetary orbital defense systems, as well as a large number of energy turrets installed in the inner solar system, can effectively destroy the five-vehicle and five-civilization battleships. Energy Armor.
The Galaxy Fleet is equivalent to the ships built with the material technology of the middle stage of the second stage of civilization. In terms of defensive capabilities, it is no less than the ships of five vehicles and five civilizations protected by energy armor. Five vehicles and five civilizations will definitely not think of this. By then You can defeat them by surprise.
According to the detection of the fusiform exploration ship, the fleet of five vehicles and five civilizations has been advancing towards the solar system since its departure. In the past fifty years, the fleet has covered nearly one-eighth of the journey. If nothing else, about In about three hundred and fifty years, they will enter the solar system.
Although the earth's civilization's material technology is powerful, it all relies on Liu Qian's energy enhancement technology. According to the current progress, Liu Qian will only be able to strengthen more than 20 spirit-class space battleships in 350 years. The number of ships in the fleet of five vehicles and five civilizations has reached hundreds of thousands.
After so many years of detection, Liu Gan almost knew the composition of the five-vehicle and five-civilization fleet: a king-class battleship was their flagship, there were more than fifty Ling-class battleships, thousands of master-class battleships, tens of thousands division-level battleships and hundreds of thousands of common-level battleships.
If ships are built using materials that have not been strengthened by Liu Gan's mysterious energy, these ordinary ships will be as fragile as paper in front of ships with five vehicles and five civilizations equipped with energy armor.
Therefore, how to increase the quantity and quality of the Galaxy Fleet to the same level as the fleet of five vehicles and five civilizations within three hundred and fifty years is a very important and unacceptable question before Liu Qian and all earth scientists. Problems to avoid.
